Applying geoscience to Australia's most important challenges

Moora 1:250 000, R502 historical topographic map

Abstract

The R502 series of maps has been replaced by the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS). The R502 series consists of 542 map
sheets and covers Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. It was compiled from aerial photography, but only about one quarter of
the series was contoured. The standard sheet size is 1 degree of latitude by 1.5 degrees of longitude. Transverse Mercator
map projection and Clark 1858 datum were used. Coverage of the country was completed in 1968.
